Public Shared Property Enable As Boolean

Property Value

Remarks

The AzureCompatibility.Enable is a static property. You should specify it at application startup as follows:

DevExpress.Utils.AzureCompatibility.Enable = true;

DevExpress.Utils.AzureCompatibility.Enable = True

To use the AzureCompatibility.Enable property in your code, add a reference to the DevExpress.Data.v21.1.dll assembly to your project.

When you set the AzureCompatibility.Enable property to True, specific GDI/GDI+ calls, which are not supported in Azure, are disabled. Other methods are used to draw content.

Some of the DevExpress graphical report controls render their displayed content to the Windows Metafile format, which is not supported by Azure. The following problems can occur:

• Printing, Reporting, RichEditDocumentServer, PDF libraries can produce unexpected output content (such as red crosses X, distorted fonts, etc.) when being used on Azure Web Site.
• The “Insufficient memory to continue the execution of the program” error can occur when exporting visual controls such as Data Grid (Grid View and Card View), Tree List.

For this reason, setting the AzureCompatibility.Enable option to true causes the corresponding controls to be always rendered as bitmaps.

• XRGauge:

  The XRGauge.ImageType property is ignored.

• WinControlContainer:

  The WinControlContainer.ImageType property is ignored.

• The Rich Text Editor

  The Rich Text Editor is also used in the BI Dashboard’s TextBox.
